- gen alpha, not gen z
- children's television is still alive, chidren's *cable* television however is dead
- there are plenty of guardrails for kids through stuff like disney+, netflix, pbs, etc, parents just don't want to parent
Someone should write about the death of children's and teen television. Unlike millennials, Gen Z. does not consume media in a clearly-sanctioned "children's network" such as Disney or Nickelodeon. Kids don't watch that anymore, and those networks have largely stopped producing new episodes of their shows.
They get their entertainment on streaming devices, Youtube, and social media, which have virtually no content guardrails. Young children are consuming extremely age inappropriate content with little oversight.
people are genuinely surprised that a show that looks like this is being watched by children?
- releases three pieces of live action media
- gets cancelled because then revived because it has the closest ratings to SpongeBob
- canceled theatrical film
- moves its production to Canada
the show that replaced fairly oddparents became fairly oddparents
no surprise tbh, modern day live-action content is more versatile, has more variety in genres/age demos and is more original/less revival IP driven
most animated content these days is new stuff from old IPs and is either targeted to grade schoolers or adults
Among adolescents and young adults, the demographic prefers live-action content (58%) slightly over animated content (42%).

people keep saying this, but is there an actual scene from the show where she is referred to as ugly?
i feel like people just keep making that up
people keep saying cn real, at&t, discovery, etc.
but honestly, what really kickstarted them into where they are today was in 2000 when CN moved away from being a general animation channel to a nick/disney channel competitor
now they're dead with the rest of children's cable

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Brewers fans made a lot of noise when they advanced to the World Series after sweeping the Dodgers

aren't like 95% of US cable network in the same boat as well?
so nickelodeon and cartoon network each now have a tie-breaking three shows currently running shows
